Qwen2-7B-TS2

Training with Sparsemax+, Testing with Softmax

This model is a supervised fine-tuned variant of Qwen2-7B, trained with our TS^2 objective.

TS^2 is designed to improve alignment stability and mitigate token-level probability collapse during fine-tuning by incorporating entropy-aware adaptive weighting into the training objective.

More details could check our paper ICLR 2026 "TS^2: Training with Sparsemax+, Testing with Softmax for Accurate and Diverse LLM Fine-Tuning"

Model Description

• Base model: Qwen2-7B
• Training method: Sparsemax+
• Objective: token-level entropy-aware TS^2-style regularization
• Framework: PyTorch + Hugging Face Transformers
• Precision: bfloat16

Instead of applying uniform likelihood maximization across all tokens as in standard supervised fine-tuning, this model introduces an adaptive weighting mechanism that dynamically adjusts training emphasis based on predictive entropy.

This design is motivated by observations that overconfident likelihood-based training may lead to:

• degeneration of token diversity
• inference-time mode collapse
• reduced generalization under distribution shift

TS^2 modifies the training objective to improve both accuracy and diversity.

Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xzybit/qwen2-7b-ts2")

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "xzybit/qwen2-7b-ts2",
    device_map="auto"
)
